Chapter 6: Worry
Chen Jing lifted the wooden sword with both hands and asked, "Uncle Meng, that's it?" ”
Meng Hao just glanced at it and said casually: "Yes, that's it, just like the stake, try not to let the sword body shake for two quarters of an hour, if it shakes, add another quarter of an hour, if it shakes again, add another quarter of an hour, and so on until an hour." ”
Chen Jing looked up at Meng Hao, because he was facing the sun, he squinted his eyes and couldn't see the man's face clearly.
Meng Hao took two steps closer, "You remember for me, if the sword is out of your hand, you can simply lift the sword for two hours." His voice was cold and a little unkind, and he sat up cross-legged next to him after speaking.
Chen Jing had to agree, and he could see that since the martial arts practice, the two masters had lost their tempers.
"Xiaojing, hold on, the future hero's road is at your feet, I am waiting for you at the end of the road, when the time comes, we will go through the rivers and lakes together, catch ghosts and demons, kill demons, frolic in the world, street performers, you three and I ......"
Before Cui Ying could say anything, Dong Chuanhai grabbed his ears and stood on the pile.
"What's the matter? The body is full of energy, and you will stand on the pile for half an hour? "To put it mildly, there is no room for negotiation in the old man's words.
"Grandpa Dong, my hands and feet are still sore at this time, spare me, otherwise Ming'er won't have the strength to go to the school to read and write, and he won't even be able to understand the martial arts cheats in the future, and there will be one less hero in the world, which is a big delay." The girl's wit is used in lazy ideas.
Dong Chuanhai's temper came up, and he scolded directly, "You are still a hero, if you don't work hard at this time, you will be at most a 'hero' in the future, get over and stand on the pile!" ”
Cui Ying didn't dare to talk back, she stood up to Chen Jing sickly, and also started to walk towards her own hero's road, but she was still dishonest while standing on the pile, and she grimaced from time to time.
Chen Jing couldn't pay so much attention to her, his mind was now tied to the sword in his hand, according to what Uncle Meng said, this wooden sword is more than two feet, weighing two catties and three taels, made of a hundred-year-old peach tree core, it was he traveled in his early years and met a drunkard Taoist priest, and he got it in exchange for a drunkard attack, Chen Jing is young and his hands are small, this one-handed sword, now he is more suitable to pick it up with both hands.
Sure enough, everything was difficult at the beginning, and in less than a quarter of an hour, the sword body trembled.
Chen Jing thought sadly and angrily, it seems that he can't escape for an hour, and he won't feel too embarrassed to lift the sword for an hour, and he will not feel too embarrassed to have a stump to do the foundation, the more difficult it is that the more he concentrates, the more panicked he is, and the easier it is to make the sword body shake.
Chen Jingshen exhaled, let himself relax a little, no longer deliberately stared at the sword body, but closed his eyes, anyway, Uncle Meng didn't say that he was not allowed to close his eyes.
Meng Hao, who was sitting quietly next to him, opened his eyes at this time, and closed his eyes again, this kid may be a stubborn temper, but he is not stupid.
The hourglass ended, and an hour finally passed.
The first time Chen Jing lifted the sword, he felt more tired than standing on the pile for two hours, and when he was half an hour, he felt that the sword body was as heavy as a thousand pounds, especially in the last quarter of an hour, the sweat on the boy's forehead had covered his eyes, and his eyes were completely useless when he closed his eyes, so he could only grit his teeth and hold on.
Chen Jing couldn't feel the existence of his arm at this time, and the reason why the sword didn't fall off was probably just because he subconsciously held it too tightly, and even he didn't know it.
The standing pile can also swing back and forth a few times, of course, Grandpa Dong opens one eye and closes one eye, and corrects it in time when he sees it, at most he will be punished for standing for a while.
Compared with Uncle Meng's request, Grandpa Dong can be regarded as magnanimous.
When the time came, Chen Jing sat paralyzed on the chair, there was no miserable appearance, more of a heart and strength were a little exhausted, the sword was still in his hand, he couldn't put it down even if he wanted to, both hands were stiff, and he couldn't get rid of it until he regained consciousness.
Meng Hao walked to the boy's side, casually pulled out the wooden sword from his hand and threw it on the stone table, then pulled out one of the boy's arms, let his arm stretch and straighten, and raised four fingers to press on the boy's arm and squeeze it repeatedly.
"Your little cleverness is a good use, and the rest is just persistence and persistence. There are some tricks to practice swords, but they won't be used on you now, if you really want to use it, you can't say that the road ahead of your avenue will be ruined, and the avenue will be narrowed. ”
Meng Hao looked at the boy's somewhat gloomy face, remembered his remaining childhood past, and smiled, there were times in his childhood, he always gave face to what he wanted to say or didn't dare to say.
Then he rubbed the boy's head with his hand and said, "As long as you are not a real genius of cultivation, it is normal for people to endure hardships and be scolded at the beginning of all cultivation and martial arts.
Doing wrong or not doing well enough, is often defined by others, not to say right or wrong, no matter what kind of rhetoric, you have to persevere, especially to practice swords, but also to insist, only through the past, with the ability to flow the river and cross the mountain, you only think about flying, only stick to the past, look back and see the hardships you have suffered, but Erer. ”
Chen Jing asked in a low voice, "Uncle Meng, is there really no need to worry?" I am not afraid of hardship, and I can persevere, but I am afraid that Master and you will be disappointed, I am afraid that I will not be able to become a talent, and I am even more afraid that I will not persevere until the day I become a talent. ”
Meng Hao comforted him and said: "In cultivation, the life span is long, and the last thing you are afraid of is waiting."
Since I just said that you can't use other methods, you can honestly endure hardships, just hold on, as for what bullshit genius is not genius, it doesn't matter, what kind of bird master teaches what bird-like apprentices, Puyu can be carved into treasures, it is originally the icing on the cake, and it is more comforting than the immortal wood carving. ”
"So."
Meng Hao asked the boy with a straight face, "What's the most important thing?" ”
"Hold on!"
Chen Jing felt that it was not enough, so he said again, "Hold on!" ”
"That's right. In the future, when you can't hold on, think about what I said, and think back to your answer. Well, in the future, three times a day in the morning, noon and evening, or two quarters of an hour to an hour, insist on a month. ”
"Okay." Chen Jing shook his fist and shouted.
Meng Hao's face turned sharply, and he turned his face when he said that he would turn his face, "You kid can't do what he says in the future, look at how Lao Tzu cuts you!" ”
Chen Jing didn't know what to say in this play.
"There's no reason why my disciples are worse than Lao Dong." After Meng Hao finished speaking, he wiped his nose and walked away with a resolute face.
Chen Jing was a little twisted.
On the other side, Dong Chuanhai was teaching Cui Niu new tricks, and started boxing while standing on the pile.
"Punch force, punch the left fist, pull the right hand, the power is directed from the leg to the waist and back, and then give the arm punch power, inhale and exhale, grit your teeth and punch, stand firm and can't relax."
When Cui Ying first started boxing, his mouth was accompanied by a shout of "huhuhaha", and then he was slapped on the head by Dong Chuanhai and scolded: "Clean up some of the things that you don't have, the bells and whistles, what about playing?" ”
Chen Jing rested for about a quarter of an hour, and after his arm recovered seventy or eighty percent, he also started to punch, and at that time, the whole arm of the sword was motionless, and it was completely reversed at this time, and it was considered a piece of relaxation, and it felt good.
Dong Chuanhai watched from the side, constantly repeating the gist to the two of them and correcting the action position.
He naturally heard Meng Hao's words just now, and he was also surprised in his heart, Meng Hao was able to say words that were dull and dull, most of them were learned from Lao Mu, as for the last two provocative words, it didn't matter, it depends on his own ability and his apprentice.
For Xiaojing, they are both relieved, this child can listen to what he says, and he can change it, although it is not a good material, but he is a veritable good child.
As for Cui Ya, she is a sturdy and lazy donkey, take one step at a time, take another step for food, no matter whether she is disabled or fattened in the end, she just can't run fast.
The guy who can doze off when standing on the stump and punching, Dong Chuanhai wants to kick her to the base of the wall.
It's true that a girl is talented, not that she's bad, but that she can be better.
Just say that you are diligent, obviously there is Xiao Jing Zhuyu in front, how can you Cui Ya have the gold and stone on the side, she will give you a rubble behind.
is like the beautiful jade fished out of the pit, how valuable it is, how disgusting it is.
When the time came, Cui Ying called it a day, made a desolate dantian style, and said with satisfaction: "Today is a little closer to the hero." ”
Dong Chuanhai's ears hurt when he heard it, and he didn't scold her, anyway, she had already been punished, she was happy, she couldn't find a lame reason to punish her again, she had to have a sense of proportion, and repeatedly forced this lazy person to practice, which was easy to force out the rebellious mentality, so that the gain was small and the loss was big, but it was not beautiful.
After a while, Xiaojing will definitely twist her to write together, almost every day, and the girl also half-pushes and half-follows the practice, in order to cope with Lao Mu, who may suddenly return from a long trip, to prove that she is lazy, and win a praise or two.
Of course Dong Chuanhai knows what this girl is afraid of, and she is so afraid that it is just a conjecture to "drive out of the house", every time he thinks of this, Dong Chuanhai is funny and annoyed, in this family, who farms the land and cooks for you? Built a house on land for you to live in? But his own master's family is not as respected as the "robber" from the outsider.
The more I thought about it, the more angry I became, I threw up my sleeves to find some wine to drink, and went to the west of the village with my hands behind my back.
"I told you, you can use force to skim and prune, but you don't have to use all the strength of breastfeeding, just writing, and it's not your enemy, why are you so ruthless? Later, Master really bought us paper and pencils, and you ran out of paper and the pen went bad after two days of use, what should Master do when he gets angry? ”
"Oh, okay, okay, I'm very tired from boxing every day, and I have to accompany Old Man Dong to pull weeds in the field from time to time, and I have to watch the water and irrigate the fields, and it's not a big problem to write badly."
Looking at Xiao Jing's face that was getting worse and worse, he hurriedly added a word, "Right?" ”
Chen Jing suddenly remembered what his master had said, "What about the martial arts cheats?" ”
Before she finished speaking, the girl yelled at him, "I'm bad at writing, I just need to know how to read, but I don't know as much as you, tell you plainly, don't rely on these to get embarrassed in front of me." ”
But after the roar, the girl bumped the boy's shoulder, and said with a strange and almost flattering smile: "Xiaojing, we really found the martial arts cheats in the future, if I don't understand something, you can teach me." It's a big deal, in the future, we will divide the two of us into fifty or five street performers, if it really doesn't work, the chest will break the big stone, I will lie on the ground, you take the hammer, what's the matter? ”
Chen Jing saw that her smiling face was silly, her face trembled twice, and she quickly stretched out her hand to rub it, and then pulled the girl's shoulders towards the sand table, "If you really want to be a hero, you have to rely on yourself, even if you don't go to the rivers and lakes, just go to Zhao'an City to perform on the streets, you have to rely on yourself." Don't talk about those who are far away, just say that now, Master may come back at any time, and I want Master to praise you. ”
Chen Jing pointed to the sand table and said, "You have to be literate and practice!" ”
Cui Ying planned to play the dead dog again, and the boy hurriedly said: "In the future, if you have martial arts cheats, I will teach you and promise not to charge you money, as for the broken boulder on your chest, you are all out of it, and I don't want to take advantage of you too much, I will charge one less point, and four or six points will be divided." ”
Cui Ying nodded, he was very useful to his words, cheered up a little bit, and continued to practice calligraphy and abuse.
"Don't say anything else, but just say horizontal and vertical, you did it, and you can even say that you write well."
"This word is pronounced 'remote', which is similar to the meaning of 'far', when you first start writing, you can write separately from the side of the word, and it is easier to understand the original meaning of the font."
"This word is pronounced 'return', which is similar to 'return', and has the meaning of return....."
When she said this, Cui Ying turned her head to look at Chen Jing, "Xiaojing, do you miss Master?" ”
The boy was a little embarrassed, and replied, "Why don't you want to?" Although Master is very powerful, I am still a little worried, and if Master does not come back for a day, I will worry about it for a day. ”
The girl grasped the point, "Master is very powerful? How powerful is that? ”
"Don't say anything else, just rely on the master to fly, this is very powerful." When the boy said this, he recalled the situation when the master took him out of his hometown, and his face was longing.
"You can fly! Isn't that a fairy? ”
"Master is an immortal."
Cui Ying didn't doubt what he said, the two fought and fought, but Xiao Jing never lied to himself, not once, especially when it came to the master, the girl didn't believe that Xiao Jing would lie to herself.
Cui Ying reverie the picture of Feitian, opened his mouth and muttered: "I don't need martial arts cheats in the future, I want to learn fairy cheats." ”
Chen Jing didn't know whether it was good or bad to say that the master's thing was good, he thought Cui Niu knew, and now he knew that Cui Niu hadn't seen the master show his magical powers, but now was not the time for the two to chatter, the boy persuaded: "So, ah, you need to read and write, and strive to have a good impression in front of the master, and get a few more praises, and the fairy cheats will be passed on to you sooner or later." After saying that, he clenched his fists to cheer her up.
Cui Ying also hummed, clenched her fists, turned around and wrote, and used the remaining energy for one or two points.
A cloud squeezed over the sky overhead, and the whole small courtyard fell into shadows, accompanied by a slight breeze, and the dense thick clouds behind had not yet sprung up, and the sky was only two minutes darker, so as not to delay writing outside.
Chen Jing looked up into the distance, and could vaguely see the bursts of thunder in it, because it was too far away, all that came was a small sound of thunder, thinking that it must be raining, although there is no shortage of water in the paddy field, but there is rain is better than no rain, it is really going to rain heavily, and there is no need to irrigate the field to see the water for ten days and a half months, and he has more time to fight and practice swords.
Dong Chuanhai walked back leisurely with a wine gourd, he didn't have to worry about anything if he had wine, he originally planned to drink himself at night, Meng Hao This guy must look down on this turbid wine, otherwise he can be regarded as a wine worm companion, he doesn't need to relieve hangover with aura, and it's not bad to drink Hu Tianhai.
It's the old yellow who sells wine on that dog day is not happy, obviously saying that three buckets of rice are exchanged for a gourd wine, and he has to pick this and that, what has sand and stones, what rice grains are a little small, or old grain.
is still pretending to be crazy and stupid, with a small business, no one to make money, and he is about to say that he is the most pitiful person in the realm of Zhao'an City, and he is not even as good as a dog.
My gourd is a little bigger, what's wrong with taking advantage of you? Who in the entire realm doesn't know what virtues Huang Lao Dog has, his skin is as thick as a dam, let your saliva splash everywhere, what can you do about the "dam"?
Dong Chuanhai just didn't want to be too ostentatious and scare others, the most important thing was the two children, so he deliberately disguised himself as a small common man to buy wine nearby, otherwise who would be rare of your Huang Laogou's turbid wine, thousands of miles away in the big city, Lao Tzu can buy good wine with an hour's hard work.
Thinking of those good wines, and then looking at the gourd on his waist, he was upset.
The old man raised his head, frowned at the dark clouds, and complained in his heart: "The field was watered the day before yesterday, why didn't you come earlier, you didn't come to do it in the snow, and the icing on the cake didn't fall."
It was not easy for the two children to learn to insist on doing the crop work, especially the lazy girl, this heavy rain came down, for ten days and a half months without a big deal, she can bring back the lazy problem again, you can't harm me a good thing. ”
After making up his mind, he untied the wine gourd first, took it in his hand and flipped it over his wrist, and the gourd disappeared.
Looking at the nearby hills, there was no dust rolling, no landslides and cracks, only almost no smoke and fire, and it was almost instantaneous.
Dong Chuanhai stood on the ground and inspected the surroundings, and found that there were no people and things to worry about, no longer deliberately restraining the qi of the whole body, bent his knees and stomped his feet, the cracks in the ground spread out for several feet of land, and suddenly jumped up, the cracks in the ground expanded again, and the person was like a catapulted arrow, directly drilling into the black clouds, and the entire boundary of Zhao'an City was slightly shaken, and all the birds in the nearby dense forest flew up in shock, suspected to be a natural disaster.
The dark clouds that had moved to the sky above the boundary of Zhao'an City, compared to the external thunder bursts, the thunder was even more roaring, and the muffled sound continued, but seeing that the heavy rain was about to fall, it took only two teas to make the clouds appear more and more transparent.
After another cup of tea, it was actually sunny.
In the mountains and forests, the old man looked at the missing cuff on his arm and sighed, "It's old." ”
Then he looked up at the thin clouds, "I'm upset." ”
Thinking of his wine gourd, he took it out and took a sip of wine, "Suppress the shock, suppress the shock." ”
In the distance, Meng Hao smiled dumbly, he noticed it from the beginning when Dong Chuanhai jumped into the clouds, and he watched the whole process.
Drilling into the clouds, he first punched and broke up the "main rear army", leaving only the predecessor, and then entering it, using the wonderful boxing method to "hollow out" the predecessor into an empty shell, creating the current suspected "nature", which is really "artificial".
Chen Jing in the small courtyard thought that it must be raining, so he hurriedly finished teaching Cui Niu to write, looking at the brighter and brighter sky, his heart was a little depressed, God was really unpredictable.
